The extended range antenna increases the range better than expexted. I hunt in very dense woods and have tracked my dogs over 3 miles and haven't lost them yet. Only proplem I have with it is it's very fragile. First time in the woods a vine caught the thing on the end and pulled it out and the last section broke off, then it got hung up while I was walking and bent it, then it got stepped on when I layed it down and broke completely off but even when it broke I could still track the dogs over 2 miles.

2.0 out of 5 stars Way To Fragile, August 7, 2011

I don't think Garmin realized houndsmen were going to be their main customers, and doubt they've ever spent time with any. These are way to fragile. The dealer I bought some from broke 2 in 3 nights coon hunting. They should be built like they were going to be used by the military. You should be able to replace the part that breaks for a few bucks. I got sick of buying them, and bought a bunch of telescopic antennas and adapters to screw them on my 220.

This product is a must if you hunt any dog that hunts out further than 800 yards. You can pick up dogs for at least a mile and a half in dense cover. My first one stopped working after six months. I have ordered another since I could not find my receipt. It is replaceable for a year.
